What is mujeres pajaro?
This work by Alejandra Phelts explores the duality between fragility and strength within the feminine nature. It transforms the woman’s body into a winged symbol — a being that nests, nurtures, and also takes flight. Through hybrid figures — half bird, half human — the artist reflects on freedom, motherhood, the desire to rise, and the ability to endure even with wounded wings.
